[Framers] FM2019 - 32/64-bit?

Tue Sep 25 04:10:29 PDT 2018

Lin,
The specific problem that has affected the 64 bit version is due to a
problem with the ScriptUI tree view control. ScriptUI is the way we build
the User Interface for ExtendScript projects. In this case the tree view
does not show any text or allow nodes to be expanded. I have some
applications where this is a critical part of the workflow. Everything works
perfectly on 32 bit version.

Ian

This is probably a stupid question, but my understanding is that a scripting
language is pure text interpreted by whichever interpreter (in this case
ExtendScript) is installed. If that's the case, does it matter which version
of FM you create the script in? Does the 32-bit version have different
command words and variables or syntax from the 64-bit?

NB: Not a scripter of any sort, haven't looked to see.
